pattern of the day

 

Here's a pattern based on little scratchings I did while nursing a cold this weekend. Maybe I was imaging the viral invaders in my nose. The worst is over, knock on formica. I can breath today.

 

R.I.P.


My G5 Shades of Gray hard drive died last week. But what a gentleman! He refused to kick on just after I had backed up every little thing in his head. Enough is enough I guess.

 

two quilts accepted into a show

Two of my quilts have been accepted into the Quilts=Art=Quilts 2010 show at the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center in Auburn, NY (clickhere to see their website). If you are near that area from October 31 through January 9, stop in to see them!

this one is called Connecting fantasy to reality proved difficult
and this one is called Going viral

 

lost in the thicket

Working on this pattern (a variation of the Morris inspired one below) Illustrator froze up on me several times. I would get ready to export and the program would hang, forcing me to quit and lose any work I hadn't saved. Since most of the time I am so lost in the thicket of the pattern I forget to save. Then when I open it back up I am back in time 30 steps. grrrrr.......

Here's a variation (one of 30 or 40 of these things) for your viewing pleasure. Maybe I'll animate the bunch of them to show the progression of the pattern. 
Assuming I learn how to save more often.

 

dress off.

Jean and I met last Friday to talk about our collaborative project. I admit I am taken aback by Jean's progress with many new and exciting ideas for the remaining sculptures. I was left breathless.

 


This shot is a series showing the understructure for a dress I created (see below) that reminds both of us of scullery maid or matron with great power and humor.


Love the butt. I can't wait to see Jean's sculpture for the head.
Thanks Jean, for these lovely in process shots.
